chroot service start at boot

[bogyit]

Hello
I've installed a chroot system with deboostrap as explained here:

- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot

works perfectly and I've installed Nginx and MySQL inside this chroot (/srv/test_server/).

Now, I'm wondering if is possible, and how, to start nginx and mysql automatically when I start or restart my server. I tried to place a symbolic link of /srv/test_server/etc/init.d/nginx to /etc/init.d/ but doesn't seems to work. Is this a good practice? Because right now I'm starting these services manually. Any suggestions or documentation I can read? I've been searching for an answer but I didn't find anything.

Thank you for your attention.

Solved! At the end it was simple. Here's my solution for ubuntu 11.10 server, in this example I'm using vsftpd:

1. install schroot
2. create a startup script in /etc/init.d/
3. use update-rc.d

sudo apt-get install schroot
sudo touch /etc/init.d/my_ftp.sh
sudo nano /etc/init.d/my_ftp.sh

inside my_ftp.sh I wrote:

#!/bin/bash
schroot -c my_server vsftpd &

where my_server is just the entry label for /etc/schroot.conf, after editing that file you can list all chroots with schroot -l
Anyway, at this point create launch scripts:

sudo update-rc.d my_ftp.sh defaults 99

You will see an output related to init scripts creation. After that just reboot to test the server.

hope is useful and, please, advice if this is bad practice, bye
